Smoke DZA – T.H.C. (The Hustler’s Catalog)

Can we go ahead and give DZA his own strand of O.G. Kush already? The man reps for marijuana like a D.A.R.E. commercial (just on the opposite spectrum). Amazingly though, Big Smoke Dog has avoided the four walls and convenient roofing of being boxed in as “weed rapper” as he consistently paints his life’s memoirs in between the papers lines, amongst the blunt ashes.

In his latest act of greatness the young Harlemite has finally penned, published and packaged the good book to his success’s secrets with T.H.C. (The Hustler’s Catalog). Call it poetry in motion similar to smoke billows whisking away in a moving car. It’s a work of nonfiction with dazzling subplots from Devin The Dude, Big K.R.I.T., Kendrick Lamar and The Kid Daytona. Composition specialists such as Hi-Tek, Lex Luger and Hit-Boy also help add color commentary through their varied instrumentation.

And, it’s also an album—which costs you nothing but your hard drive space. Thank your lucky KushedGod that he spared you that $10 so you can still visit your weedman to ride out with a fuzzy sense of sight.

Actually, he probably wouldn’t have it any other way. Get lifted to this shit right here.

After spending all night writing a soul-crushing essay, and then serving a bunch of spoiled pro athletes… this right here made my fucking week… matta’o’fact i’m finna roll one up RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

This tape was better than I expected.

This tape is SERIOUS. Way more serious than previous DZA tapes and nearly up there with the new KRIT…out of this world production and way more lyrical than he’s been in the past. “Early Days of George”, “1st Class” and (ESPECIALLY) “How Far We Go” are amazing. There’s only one track I don’t care for, the one-joke Aubrey soundalike “Winning”. I am disappointed in Lil B for not putting out a song called “Charlie Sheen” while the iron was still hot.

People saying Luger only has one trick should check out “Know Better”. Wouldn’t have guessed it was him until I saw the production credit. “Loaded” is more typical Lex but it’s not a cut-and-paste job and it knocks.

Great choice of features, too. How about that fucking Kendrick Lamar verse…still my favorite verse all year. And a classic Devin track to close it.

My only complaints are

This just goes…really surprised at how good this is. Donate worthy.

KRIT > DZA > Fiend > Stalley (I honestly haven’t given ITM that much burn)- but it’s closer than you’d think between the top two.

Who bought Big K.R.I.T. from the website?? I’m trying to figure out if that shit comes with a book or something….fuck an autograph (partially).

But yeah….I’ve yet to dive into this album….it’s in my queue though so eventually I’ll be there.
